Old Dreams No Return (Serena) novel Chapter 130

Chapter108.

But I had gravely underestimated Caitlyn’s all-consuming greed and her willingness to destroy everything to get what she wanted. “Kaylie, do you really think that business deal will save you from everything? Yes, you’re smart, but there’s one thing you can’t save-your child.” Then, she turned her head and said to those men, “Hit her hard! Make sure she miscarries.”

Before I could even form a protest, two of the men advanced, their fists and boots flying.

I curled into a protective ball, my body a shield for the life within me, paralyzed by the terror of losing it.

Every hit was like a hammer blow, and their kicks hit me perfectly.

Tears streamed down my face as I cried out, “Caitlyn, you’re monstrous! We’re both pregnant. You’re a mother too! How could you do this? How could you be so cruel? If Leland ever finds out you killed his child, he’ll never forgive you!”

Caitlyn sneered, “Scream all you want, Kaylie. No one is coming to save you. He doesn’t recognize your child, and my child is the one he wants.”

Pain lanced through me with every movement. “No! Stop! Don’t hurt my child, Caitlyn! You’ll regret this! Remember, the law holds people accountable. I swear, I’ll never let you get away with this!”

With a guttural try of fury, she herself lunged, striking me repeatedly. “Bitch! You’ll regret this! Let me tell you something. Leland listens to me. In bed, I can make him forget everything. Can you do that, you pathetic bitch?

*And Leland isn’t sick, but if I say he is, he becomes sick. He drank the water I prepared. Don’t you think he’ll obey me now?

I’m telling you, Kaylie, if I want a man dead for me, he will be. As for you…

Leland would rather see you dead to get his hands on your wealth. Do you think he cares about your feelings? Let me tell you, if I just snap my fingers, hell discard you!”

Caitlyn’s laughter filled the space, a high, maniacal sound that scraped against my ears. I cried out, not just from the physical agony, but from the deep, cold certainty as the spreading stain beneath me deepened, the life within me slipping away.
